,Biology - CORRECT ANSWERS-is a science that seeks to understand the activities of
living things. May also be referred to as the science of life.
Basic biological concepts - CORRECT ANSWERS-1. metabolism
2. homeostasis
3. adaptation
Scientific Method - CORRECT ANSWERS-A series of steps followed to solve problems
including collecting data, formulating a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, and stating
conclusions.
to ask and answer scientific questions - CORRECT ANSWERS-by making observation
& performing experiments
scientific method steps - CORRECT ANSWERS-1. Ask a Question
2. Do Background Research
3. Construct a Hypothesis
4. Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
5. Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion based on FACTS.
6. Communicate Your Results
Adaptation - CORRECT ANSWERS-the modification of an organism, or one or more of
its parts, that makes it more fit for existence under the conditions of its environment.
homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWERS-a tendency toward a stable state between
different, but interdependent elements or groups of elements of an organism, population
or group.
metabolism - CORRECT ANSWERS-network of chemical reactions by which living cells
grow and sustain themselves.
anabolism - CORRECT ANSWERS-uses energy stored in the form of adenosine
triphosphate (ATP) to build larger molecules from smaller molecules.
catabolic - CORRECT ANSWERS-reactions degrade larger molecules in order to
produce ATP and raw materials for anabolic reactions.
LIFE IS BEST DEFINED IN TERMS OF THE FUNCTIONS PERFORMED BY ALL
LIVING THINGS - CORRECT ANSWERS-
TO SUSTAIN LIFE, ALL LIVING ORGANISMS MUST BE ABLE TO COMPETENTLY
CARRY OUT BIOCHEMICAL & BIOPHYSICAL ACTIVITIES - CORRECT ANSWERS-
,Nutrition, nourishments, or aliment is the supply of materials or food required by
organism and cells to stay alive. - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Processes included with nutrition - CORRECT ANSWERS-ingestion - not always an
oral process .
digestion - chemical changes take place in the body.
assimilation - changing certain nutrients into the protoplasm of cells.
conveyance or transport - absorption of materials by living organisms, active transport.
diffusion - CORRECT ANSWERS-flow of molecules from areas of higher or lower
concentrations
circulation - CORRECT ANSWERS-movement of fluid and other materials throughout
the organism
respiration - CORRECT ANSWERS-is a complex process
consists of breathing and cellular respiration
excretion - CORRECT ANSWERS-process of removing waste products
synthesis - CORRECT ANSWERS-biochemical process
regulation - CORRECT ANSWERS-consists of all processes that control, coordinate or
adjust to numerous activities of the organism.
allows for adaptation to the internal or external environment.
growth
- coordinated, orderly growth in cells, resulting in growth of organisms.
reproduction - CORRECT ANSWERS-reproduction of new being by parent organism or
organisms
highly complex process
* without reproduction the species or organism becomes extinct
types of reproduction - CORRECT ANSWERS-1. asexual - requiring a single parent
2. sexual - requiring two parents.
protoplasm - CORRECT ANSWERS-living matter composed of protoplasm.
- found only in living matter
includes: proteins carbohydrates, lipids, water, and nucleic acid.
, growth - CORRECT ANSWERS-living matter is separated from nonliving matter by its
distinctive method of growth.
every living things converts food into more living matter .
cellular organization - CORRECT ANSWERS-living matter is usually divided into small
units known as cells.
cells - CORRECT ANSWERS-smallest unit of life.
cells vary in size, shape, and function.
cell respiration - CORRECT ANSWERS-life cannot be maintain without the release of
energy.
oxygen is required for food breakdown the term respiration is used to describe it.
overproduction of offspring - CORRECT ANSWERS-all living organisms produce more
offspring than are necessary to replace the parents if all should live.
reproduction - CORRECT ANSWERS-it is necessary because living organisms do not
live indefinitely.
the nature of matter - CORRECT ANSWERS-anything that has weight and occupies
space.
may be gas, liquid, or solid.
gases - CORRECT ANSWERS-considered fluids
have high kinetic energy
have no definite shape
have no definite volume
volume depends upon the size if the container
examples : hydrogen, methane, nitrogen, oxygen
liquids - CORRECT ANSWERS-they can take the shape of any container they're placed
in.
volume always remains constant.
examples : metal mercury, nonmetal bromine, glass
solids - CORRECT ANSWERS-maintain shape.
occupy volume.
have identifying density.
cannot be forced into a smaller space.
do no increase under pressure
examples: metals (except for mercury) nonmetals, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur
